Roosevelt Learning Center, a community based day treatment school of Region V BOCES established in 2001 provides behavior therapy and educational instruction to students from Sweetwater County School Districts I and II.  The students have been identified as in need of special education services by their schools of origin.  The Center serves students in grades 6-12.  They are referred to the school by their Individual Education Planning (IEP) Team.  Instruction and therapy for all students is individualized to best address the students' unique learning styles and needs.  The primary goal of Roosevelt is to transition our students back into their general educational setting.

Research-based and proven behavioral therapies are employed school-wide to better equip our students to manage their behaviors in school and community settings.  The practice of these approaches has led to significant gains in positive behavior changes with students at Roosevelt Learning Center.  Several of these are:

A Licensed Clinical Social Worker is permanently on staff as well as a contracted Clinical Psychologist to provide individual, group, and family counseling.  Staff in-service and training ensures consistent application of behavioral plans.  Roosevelt works with outside provider agencies when the needs of the students warrant.

All students at Roosevelt Learning Center will be provided a safe, nurturing, individualized learning environment with high expectations for future success in social and academic growth.

The ultimate goal of each student is to learn behavioral and academic skills that will enable them to find success in the regular classroom and the community at large.  Roosevelt's curriculum is designed to facilitate this goal, and is aligned with Wyoming State standards to enable each student to earn credit towards Sweetwater County School Districts I and II's graduation requirements.  Region V BOCES is accredited through NCA.

Many students enter Roosevelt with behaviors that are not only an impediment to their learning, but also present a significant roadblock to their success outside of school.  Roosevelt Learning Center utilizes in-house and community based programs to teach and enhance those life skills necessary in the world of work and community today.  Students will have an opportunity for job placements in-house, at job sites, or with outside agencies.
